Re: Shooting at home

A proper range I would define as a licenced range, but there is no mention of licence just permission of the land owner.
I've started with ball trap, but the club I'm a member with in Arlay have...

Re: woodburner c/heating

Re: woodburner c/heating

It's all great advice but my problem comes with the size of the system I want to tap into.

The tell-tale neighbor I put down to the usual xenophobia you get when a foreigner owns the biggest property in the village (the chateau).

woodburner c/heating

This chateau has a oil burner the size of a small car and we plain can't afford to heat the whole house or run it for the small part we inhabit. We have acres of free wood hence the wood burner.

I normally shoot at a club but I was shooting off a few round of BP at home doing some powder load calculations.

Re: KFC takes on Mc Donalds in France.

I just hope the French can cook a decent KFC. 'cause you can't get a decent one in the UK any more.

Re: Legless ( or seeking a prosthetist )

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm afraid Orthopedic prosthetics are things like hip or knee replacement (ortho is to do with bone).

Re: What's this fly and do they bite?

Possibly they...
